Insurance

Can you afford to travel without Emergency Medical Insurance?

Case studies clearly illustrate the value of Emergency Medical Insurance. Canadians are used to having most hospital / medical costs taken care of under our Government Health Insurance Plan - we normally are not aware of the actual costs. Even common medical situations can be extremely expensive in a foreign country.

Case Studies:

The following shows just how expensive unexpected medical costs can be while you're travelling. In the absence of travel insurance, patients are held personally responsible for paying medical costs.
